Launchy itself seems to be rather dead. Not sure if it's worth improving support for such application, but thanks for the suggestions, I'm aware of these problems.

Yeah it is pretty dead. Another program Executor http://executor.dk/ looks promising and has features added quite often. The latest test build has been on going for the the better part of the year and is updated often and is current as of December.

I use both Launchy and Executor because atm Launchy has better search/indexing capabilities where as Executor is based more on keywords, but has a lot more features.

i was wondering if you could upload a launchy 2,5 compliant version of ampy, I'd love to have this functionality but I don't have the environment installed to build it myself and I also know almost nothing of how to do this. So it would be very nice if you could do this if it doesn't bother you too much
